WHAT IS TOYBOX?
Children who have little in the way of belongings look forward to Christmas with expectations the same as all children. Folks who are able to contribute to these needs  help eliminate a disappointing Christmas for kids in the Cape Girardeau community who need a little help.

Contributions to Toybox help fill a need for children who may not otherwise receive gifts at Christmas. The Toybox program served more than 1,200 children from birth to 12 years of age last year and continues in its 31st year to reach out to children with new toys.

Cape Girardeau teacher Tracy Haggerty, organizer for this year's Toybox program, said many of the requests for children's toys have been for educational toys. Examples include See 'n Say or Leapster toys. Donations can be dropped off at the Southeast Missourian offices. Tax-deductible monetary donations can be mailed to P.O. Box 4, Cape Girardeau, Mo. 63702-0004. [from SE Missourian]

Special thanks go out to Scott Rhodes of Plaza Tire for the generous donation of the use of a warehouse for this year's Toybox!!!
